The tools listed here support emulating [1] or simulating APIs and software systems. They are also called [2] API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. [1] They enable component testing in isolation. [3]
API testing commonly includes testing REST APIs or SOAP web services with JSON or XML message payloads being sent over HTTP, HTTPS, JMS, and MQ. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] It can also include message formats such as SWIFT , FIX , EDI and similar fixed-length formats, CSV , ISO 8583 and Protocol Buffers being sent over transports/protocols such as TCP/IP , ISO ...
Postman is an Indian-origin [1] [2] global software company that offers an API platform for developers to design, build, test, and collaborate on APIs. [3] Over 30 million registered users and 500,000 organizations are using Postman. [ 4 ]
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architectural style that was created to describe the design and guide the development of the architecture for the World Wide Web. REST defines a set of constraints for how the architecture of a distributed, Internet-scale hypermedia system, such as the Web
There are two previous major description languages: WSDL 2.0 (Web Services Description Language) and WADL (Web Application Description Language). Neither is widely adopted in the industry for describing RESTful APIs, citing poor human readability of both and WADL being actually unable to fully describe a RESTful API.
A server uses "Alt-Svc" header (meaning Alternative Services) to indicate that its resources can also be accessed at a different network location (host or port) or using a different protocol When using HTTP/2, servers should instead send an ALTSVC frame. [50] Alt-Svc: http/1.1="http2.example.com:8001"; ma=7200: Permanent Cache-Control
Test automation, mostly using unit testing, is a key feature of extreme programming and agile software development, where it is known as test-driven development (TDD) or test-first development. Unit tests can be written to define the functionality before the code is written.
An API can also be related to a software framework: a framework can be based on several libraries implementing several APIs, but unlike the normal use of an API, the access to the behavior built into the framework is mediated by extending its content with new classes plugged into the framework itself.
